Savelyuk N. Psycho-semantic peculiarities of the civic consciousness of the students' youth.

The thesis reveals and analyses psycho-semantic peculiarities of Ukrainian students youth' civic consciousness. Via application of the project methodology operational analogies of the categorical-semantic structures of consciousness have been explicated and interpreted taken in the context of the four experimental identifications: "an ideal citizen of my country", "a real citizen of my country", "I - as ideal", "I - as real". Subject-specialized semantic differential has been elaborated by means of which a psycho-semantic model of the image of Ukraine has been presented. Very low cognitive complexity of students has been revealed in the sphere of their perception and understanding of both their native country and their average fellow-countrymen. Future occupation of the students employed in the experiment has been presented as a factor influencing the categorical and semantic hierarchy of their ideal civic consciousness only, while the peculiarities of their residence and education region were taken for the evaluation of the "real" manifestations of their civic-mindedness.
